The first Greek speaking tribes are thought to have arrived in Greece between the late 3rd and the first half of the 2nd millennium BC (Between 1600 and 1900 BC). When the Mycenaeans invaded, the area was taken over by non- Greek speaking people who practiced agriculture. This started up Greece, forming it into a known country. There are many tribes that came into the country that started many different ages such as Neolithic Greece, Greek Bronze Age, Ancient Greece, Medieval Greece, and Modern Greece. Our country is full of history for those people who seek to know more about the world. You guys will surely love this pure background of a glorious country!
Leader
The Prime Minister of Greece since 2015 is Alexis Tsipras. One of their important roles is to appoint people to become cabinet ministers. This is some what like a vice president in a democracy. His official seat is in the Maximos Mansion in the center of Athens. He is elected by the absolute majority. It is a safe environment for people coming from a democracy nation since we have one of the best leaders in the world!
Style of Government
Greece is under a government known as a parliamentary democracy. The people elect 300 parliamentary deputies who form the parliament which conducts legislative duties of the government. The party president automatically becomes Prime Minister. Not a dictatorship or totalitarian government so have no fear...freedom is here!
Population
Athens is the capital of Greece and has a population about 4.5 million people in the greater Athens area. Greece is a small country with a total population of about 10 million people. Small, yet the perfect size for peace, fun, and a great family vacation!
